Aux Ores | New Tools & Armour

I always thought Caves & Cliffs should have had more than one new ore, so I decided to add my own new ores to this addon: Auxillium, Cosmium, Necrite, Amberine and Aurorus.

DO NOT Reupload my addon anywhere, and do not try to take credit for my work.

What are the new ores?

Auxillium is a new ore that you will find in the overworld; it spawns in both deepslate and regular stone and requires at least an iron pickaxe to be mined.

Auxillium is seen generating in both stone and deepslate.

Cosmium can be found much deeper in your world and, in the end, as crystals (though these crystals yield only mere shards of cosmium).

Cosmium ore in deepslate, and cosmium crystals in the end.

Necrite, however, requires you to visit the nether, where it can be found usually in caves, embedded in netherrack.

Amberine isn't picky; it can be found commonly across the overworld and nether, although the ore itself is more plentiful in the nether.

Amberine can be found across dimensions, like cosmium!

Lastly, Aurorus can only be found at the very bottom of the overworld, right near the lava and bedrock. Once you mine it up, you will have to forge it with diamonds to create the metallic ingot.

This stuff is extra rare!

The unique ore known as Archatite can be found in the overworld, not too low down but not too high up either. When mined, you have to smelt the Raw Archatite to create the shiny Archatite Ingot.

Archatite spawns in quite large blobs, making it easy to acquire.

Enthium is the most common ore in the end and can be found all across the ender islands, even atop the surface.

Enthium drops a very high level of experience, making it a great way to level up!

The Zapphire is quite unique, making powerful gear, however, you will need to be careful, as this ore doesn't generate as high up as Enthium, and the void can play a risky role in gathering this ore.

Ender Diamond ore is just like normal diamonds, but found in the end! It's certainly more common than in the overworld, but does that outweigh the dangers?

Ender Diamonds are most common on the inside of the islands.

The ore to top all other ores, Plasminium, can be found on the underside of ender islands, making it very risky to harvest. You also require an extremely powerful pickaxe to harvest it, diamond won't cut it (literally).

The void looms beneath this Plasminium Cluster.

Outside of Amberine, Archatite and Enthium, these ores can both be used much like how iron, diamonds and other ores can be used for armour and tools!

From left to right: Aurorus, Necrite, Cosmium, and Auxillium. All recipes are the same as the vanilla armour and tools.

Left: Plasminium, Right: Zapphire.

Auxillium Gear is similar to iron but has more durability and its armour offers more protection. What's extra unique about it is that when mining a block with an auxillium tool, you have a chance of getting a boost to your mining speed for a second, the same applies to attacking with a sword, with a boost to your attack!

Cosmium Gear is a bit greater than netherite in terms of strength, but it has the downside of drastically lower durability, meaning it will break a lot faster than auxillium, diamond or netherite gear.

Necrite Gear is about as tough as diamond, however, its best trait is that it withers mobs for a short while after you attack them with a necrite tool, additionally, it provides fire resistance if the full armor set is equipped.

Aurorus Gear is greatly durable and super fast at mining blocks, however, its attack damage isn't as good as netherite and its armor has slightly less protection value than diamond. If you were to equip the full armor set, though, you will get a boost to your speed and jump height.

Zapphire Gear is unbelievably durable, far greater than any other ore, and when you wear full Zapphire armour, you will gain rising damage resistance as you take damage.

Plasminium is incredibly unstable, to craft armour, you must acquire Shulker Runes from defeated shulkers. When this armour is worn, you will be entirely immune to certain damage types, and other damage will still be greatly reduced.

Amberine and Enthium are too dull for use in tools and armour, but you can see their excellence in the building section later down the page.

Archatite is interesting, when smelted into an ingot, it will be able to transform into other metals when combined in a crafting table like so:

All 6 sets can be trimmed at a smithing table too!

It doesn't look pretty, but hey, I'm sure you can come up with better combinations.

You can also craft blocks using these materials, which extend further with cosmium, which allows for cosmium bricks, and aurorus, which has a block for its raw and ingot form.

Amberine blocks have much more depth; there are bricks, pillars, and even lamps!

New: Auxillium Bow

The auxillium bow is crafted with auxillium and string, and it makes a stronger bow with special knockback properties!

The last notable feature is the auxillium apple, which can be crafted the same as a golden apple, but with auxillium, I'll leave it up to you to discover what it does. Have fun!

Version 1.3.4

=== NEW ===

• New Enthium Ore, found in the end:
  • This ore is great for gathering exp and can create some building blocks.
• New Zapphire Ore, found in the end:
  • The armour made from this super-dense ore grants you a rising damage resistance bonus as you take damage in a short time frame.
• New Plasminium Ore, found in the end:
  • This auspicious substance is extremely rare and even more unstable, to craft armour using it you must collect Runes from defeated shulkers, but it is definitely worth the challenge as the armour will make you entirely immune to non physical damage.
• New Archatite Ore, found in the overworld:
  • A brand new metal with the unique property to transform into other ingots when they are crafted together!
• Diamond ore can also now generate in the end dimension, but be careful, as it's often found near the void!

=== CHANGED ===

• Slightly adjusted some ore spawn rates.
